McSorley 5th grade students are looking at high scores for the ISAT Practice.
SICA testing in Idaho refers to the Summative Interim Comprehensive Assessment, a computer-adaptive test for grades 9-10 (and sometimes 3-8, 11) that assesses Idaho Core Standards in Math and English Language Arts, serving as a progress check or alternative for graduation requirements, available alongside the main ISAT (Idaho Standards Achievement Test) system. It's part of a larger assessment framework with optional Interims, summative ISATs, and science tests, providing data for students, parents, and schools to gauge achievement against state standards.
